BOOK REVIEW: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor (Strange the Dreamer #1)

***BOOK REVIEW*** Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor (Strange the Dreamer #1) This book... I just cannot reccomend this book enough. But thank god I can get my hands on Muse of Nightmares ASAP because that ending... no spoilers! The world is fabulous and frustrating and full of mystery. Laini did a stunning job building her characters. I am connected to the MCs beyond any other book I've read recently. I am literally aching for things to work out for them. The writing is brilliant, so easy to read. I got through this book in 2 evenings I couldn't put it down. Laini really covered peoples actions as not being black or white but shades of grey so very well. I have a feeling that Muse of Nightmares may be thrown across the room one or two times though 🙉🙊🙈 FIVE STARS! ★★★★★ Synopsis: The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving? The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries—including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real? Welcome to Weep.
